"ClVILlZED" LIFE.
One of the Many Crimes for which
Capitalism IL Responsible.

There are very few who calmly
consider the awful slaughter that
capitalism daily repeats. There is q
never-ending procession to the grave
yard of its victims. The sorrow of
men, women and children who live
from hand to mouth, and who
through their ignorance do not know
the cause Of their troubles, is a sub
ject that volumes could not exhaust.
Here is one of the pictures as given
in u daily paper:
'Ours il queer civilization, which
drives women into vice and subjects
them to the most outrageous treatment
in the name of morality. Take, for in
stance, the sickening report acts of bru-
tality committed yesterday in Winches-
ter, o., by an organization known as the
Knights of the Switch, formed for the
purpose of breaking up disorderly houses.
Armed with shotguns, they entered the
house of a suspected woman, drove her
and her daughter out of bed, tied them
to the doorframe and whipped them
with hickory switches until they were
unconscious. Those iiends actually be-
licved themselves heroes, armed in the
defense of good morals"

and his followers may see their own
recipe for the abolition of poverty,
much more misunderstood and mis-
represented than ours seems to be
mlsnterprcted by him and them.
Suppose for II moment his scheme
executed. The question will much
more remain: How high shall the
tax on the "unearncd increment" be,
and who is to determine it? Who is
to decide how it shall be applied to
the common benefit. and who is to
apply it? How shall railroads, tele-
graphs and all monopolies be admin
istcred, and who is to administer
them? All these questions may be
decided either in a truly democratic
way, or else by "a ''patcrnal govern
ment." He and his followers, as
well as we, may be subjected to art
full suspicious that they, willingly or
unwillingly, will plan what may turn
out to be an intolerable despotism.
He has not yet even delineated his
whole scheme of administration so
that It's consequences may be accu-
rately weighed. But we have define
ated ours. We have nothing to con-
ceaI, nothing left out of contempla-
ton.

VROOMAN IN RHODE ISLAND.
Large Audiences Gather TO Hear the
Orator From Kansas City.

PROVIDENCE, r. | July G.--The
Fourth of July Grafton by Walter
Nrooman in this city was a grand
success in every respect; thousands
of people heard and applauded the
the Socialistic sentiments ef the
brilliant speaker.
Last evening Nrooman spoke in
Olneyville. Permission has been
granted by the authorities to speak
there, but it seems the division line
between Providence and Johnston
runs through the Public Square,
and Sheriff Carroll, of Johnston,
stood on the line, wildly tlourishing
his club and threatening to "bust
you up if you try it" So, in order
to avoid the natural temptation to
anmhilate Sheriff Carroll, the meet
ing adjourned to Valley and High
streets, where for upwards of an
hour Mr.. Nrooman held q large au-
dience spellbound for upwards of an
hour. lie has gained many friends
for the cause. IL. NJ.

ALL OF p KIND.

Have you noticed how the ''Pro-
testant" and "Catholic" followers of
the meek and lowly Jesus unite in
condemning the preacher of the
most Christ like doctrine of the age?
These people have no more respect
for their religion than the Turks
Their real god is Doodle, and their
living is based on theft. They be-
long to the class who were driven
from the temple by the Christian
Socialist, who called them by their
right name thieves.

THE SHAKERS KNOW 1T.

Prof. Ely says, describing his visit
to the Shaker community at Lebanon,
81 had the pleasure of listening to
an address on Sunday from Elder
Frederick Evans. | confess it
sounded strange to me to hear the
views had associated with Henry
George preached as a part of a re-
ligious system; and it was surprise
TO me to learn that the Elder had
been preaching them for fifty years
or more" "rhe basis of morality" }"
said another Shaker, is access to the
land and hygiene"
As a community they are remark
ably healthy, unusually lively, with
minds and bodies unimpaired to the
age of from 80 to 100. Even their
domestic animals share this longev-
ity. GLOW old do you think this
horse is that we are driving?" asked
Elder Frederick. "Twelve," was
the reply. "No, thirty" said the
Elder, "owing to Shaker treatment,
not the worlds" Their simple man
ner of living, and freedom from
worry and care, added to regular but
moderate labor insures to them

A LIBERTY FEAST.
How the Socialists of Denmark Cele.
brated Liberty Day.

Through all the years of political
contest in Denmark, the Fifth of
June has been field day for the va
rious parties. The Social Democratic
Party has also made the day a holi-
day, (not particularly in memory Of
the constitutional charter, for to this
the workers are but little indebted)
as they lose no opportunity for agita-
ton and reunion.
Year by year the party has grown,
and last year-it became evident that
the festival grounds were too small
to accommodate the vast concourse
of people, and this year the grounds
were enlarged from twenty-one acres
to thirty-fve. In 1886 the spot was
used as q field for drilling troops.
The streets of Copenhagen pre-
sented a lively scene on the morning
of June 5, and at o'clock p. m. =,
one hundred and thirty-fve unions
with numerous brass bands were
marshalled in line under their waving
crimson banners, with the inscrip-
ton, "Iiberty, Equality, Fraterni-
ty," emblazoned in white or gold
upon them.
Thirty thousand people were in
the ranks, and among them were five
hundred women, who formed one
division. The streets were thronged
with spectators, and from the win
dows along the line of march,
through the principal thoroughfares,
flags are waved flowers strewn, and
cheers greeted the paraders.
The place of the festival was beau
tifully decorated with flags of all ma
tions and evergreen boughs. while
here and there were Illuminated
notices, such as "The Peoples Will
is the Supreme Law" "Eraternty,"
etc. In the center was II decorated
liberty pole, seventy feet high, sur
mounted with powerful electric
lamp for use at night, and floating
the peoples flag. Each union had
a platform, upon which were placed
the enslgns of the respective unions
as they arrived. BY six o'clock there
were fully 10000 people assembled
around the platforms. After grand
overture by all the bands in concert,
speeches We're made, congratulatory
kilograms read, songs were sung and
the happy people resigned themselves
10 an evenings enjoyment amid illu-
minated tents and bowers and upon
the dancing-foors. 1t was midnight
before the festival ended, and the
workers returned to their homes
more than ever determined to carry
on the noble struggle for economic
as well as political freedom.

The Labor Party of this country may
set. To the end of the struggle, they
have got to face two classes of robbers;
the large criminal class, wrecks of a bar
barous system. who steal i'll violation of
law. and the bigger and more dangerous
robbers, who plunder the masses under
the forms of law. Those votes will for
ever be agains. the labor vote.-Join

NOT MCGLYNN'S FRIENDS,

The New York Lealer says that
"The Catholic Bishop of Brooklyn
was waited on few days ago by
Father Zimmerman of Far Rockaway
with q request for permission to
utilize the services of any priests
whose physicians might order them
to the seashore during the summer
season. The permission was granted
save as to DR.. Burtsell of this city,
DR.. Curran, now Of Saugertics, and
Father Milan, of Poughkeepsie.
These three gentlemen az friends of
DR.. McGlynn and the bishop of
Brooklyn in denying them privileges
which he accords to others only
shows how completely a little man in
office may make a fool of himself. "
In order to fully protect the lambs
of the flock it would seem that the
Leader should be suppressed and the
labor movement generally extin-
guished. The Leader is improving
every day, and geographically is as
good looking as any. But this is no
occasion why it should not be sup
pressed-from a capitalistic stand

The most notable addition to the

Of gang of Pinkerton murdcrers
with their deadly fireworks to be
used against the strikers in the coke

call out the militia and have the

The wealthy left town and SO did

Knights of Labor did not parade,
nor did they decorate their hats with

the dealers in fireworks looked care
worn amid their stocks of explosives.
But Old Sol got in his work, and
everybody tried to get ont of his lu-
mlnous track. That's the way New
Haven celebrated. .......

An Artesian Well of Cold Air.

Ell Paso Special to the New York World.
About three years ago the Texas

rHE BABY.

Our baby now Is four months old,
a b0Hny boy, with hair like gold;
And his long clothes are put away
For Mother shortened him to-day.
He has the loveliest OF frocks,
AIT trimmed with lace, and two pink socks
That Father bought, the best by far
And prettiest in the whole bazaar.
And now the rogue can kick about;
His little feet go in and out
As though they could not rest, and he
Is just as happy as can be,
Besides he feels quite proud to-day
With all his long clothes put away,
And dressed so fine! And then, you know
We praise the boy, and love him so!
His grandmamma must see him soon;
We all will go this afternoon,
And take the pet, and stay for tea
And what riot there will bO!
At first, perhaps, she may not know
The baby he has dwindled So;
But let her guess, and do not say
That mother shortened him to-day.
